Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Annual Data: Beginning 2000

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program (also known as ES-202) collects employment and wage data from employers covered by New York State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Law. This program is a cooperative program with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. QCEW data encompass approximately 97 percent of New York's nonfarm employment, providing a virtual census of employees and their wages as well as the most complete universe of employment and wage data, by industry, at the State, regional and county levels. "Covered" employment refers broadly to both private-sector employees as well as state, county, and municipal government employees insured under the New York State Unemployment Insurance (UI) Act. Federal employees are insured under separate laws, but are considered covered for the purposes of the program. Employee categories not covered by UI include some agricultural workers, railroad workers, private household workers, student workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers. QCEW data are similar to monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) data in that they reflect jobs by place of work; therefore, if a person holds two jobs, he or she is counted twice. However, since the QCEW program, by definition, only measures employment covered by unemployment insurance laws, its totals will not be the same as CES employment totals due to the employee categories excluded by UI.

《季度就业与工资普查》（QCEW）项目（亦称ES-202），旨在搜集受纽约州失业保险法（UI）覆盖的雇主所提供的就业与工资数据。该项目与美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）合作开展。QCEW数据涵盖了纽约州非农就业的约97%，从而构建起一个关于雇员及其工资的虚拟普查，并在州、地区和县各级别提供了最为全面的就业与工资数据。所谓“覆盖”就业，广泛涉及私营部门雇员以及受纽约州失业保险法（UI）投保的州、县及市政府雇员。联邦雇员虽受另一独立法律投保，但在此项目中被视为覆盖对象。不受失业保险法覆盖的雇员类别包括部分农业工人、铁路工人、私人家庭雇员、学生工、自雇人士和无偿家庭工人。QCEW数据与每月的当前就业统计（CES）数据相似，均反映工作地点的就业情况；因此，若个人拥有两份工作，则其将被计算两次。然而，由于QCEW项目本质上仅衡量受失业保险法覆盖的就业，其总数将与CES就业总数存在差异，这是由于失业保险法排除的雇员类别所致。
